It’s more about technique than which foam roller you use, I think most runners will have suffered some tightness here, sometimes it approaches pain for me these days but not often. This video is the closest I could find to what I do, for me the extra release on top of the rolling is the key to effectiveness, and for the most part i do it more as occasional rehab than every day, even though a physio will tell you prevention is better than a cure, I can’t be bothered until it actually hurts!

In need of some advice please!
It's been 3 weeks now since I developed Runners Knee, and despite dropping my distance and frequency dramatically, the pain is still here, and hasn't got any better (4/10 pain, after around 7km)
Immediately after the irritation I started stretching on a near daily basis, run or not - but it hasn't really made a difference.
Next up I'm going to try foam rolling the area - can anyone recommend a roller?
I'll give it a couple more weeks - if there's no light at the end of the tunnel I'll start looking for a physio. What a nightmare.
Has anyone made a full recovery, if so - care to share any tips?
